It’s time to see what’s behind door number 5:

Inkvent day 5 ink is Diamine Spiced Apple, a red chameleon ink.

Like Solar Storm, another chameleon ink from this year’s Inkvent, Spiced Apple is difficult to photograph.

Spiced Apple is a bright red ink with chameleon shimmer that makes it look golden brown from some angles, blue green or bright red from others. The left side of this apple sketch looks golden brown, which is why it came out darker in this photo.

I don’t normally use red inks, as I associate the colour with editing, not writing. However, the chameleon effect really does make this ink particularly appealing.
